Two Very Different Subjects

I started writing about Cole and then some stuff happened. So now I'm writing about two completely unrelated things.

Today is Cole's last day of preschool.

I thought I would dread the day I took Cole to Kindergarten because it would mean he wouldn't be a baby anymore. I've enjoyed every moment of both kids' first years and I think I'll enjoy watching Cole start school, too. Kayley and Cole are still very young so it's not like I have adults who are ready for college yet (even though Kayley acts like she's 18 sometimes!). So, while I'm sad that Cole is getting bigger, I'm thrilled to watch him get bigger at the same time!

Today is also a heavy day for my heart. I see people close to me suffering, even dying and I feel helpless. I don't know if I should pray that God heal them and change their situation or if I should pray for God to comfort them as they pass through their tough times. Do you ever feel like your prayers are useless? I kinda feel that way today. I know it's not true, though. This is the moment when I have to lean in closer to God and have faith that He's listening.
